An unidentified skull...A trail of terrifying secrets...And a woman whose talented hands could reveal the shocking truth...As a forensic sculptor, Eve Duncan helps identify the dead from their skulls. Her own daughter murdered and her body never found, the job is Eve's way of coming to terms with her personal nightmare. But more terror lies ahead when she accepts work from billionaire John Logan. Beneath her gifted hands a face emerges from the skull he has given her to reconstruct—a face no one was ever meant to see. Now Eve is trapped in a frightening web of murder and deceit. Powerful enemies are determined to cover up the truth, and they will make certain that truth goes to the grave...even if Eve gets buried with it.

I think this is only the 3rd book I've read for my Mystery/Horror/Psychological Thriller challenge but it makes me realize what I've been missing by avoiding this genre. The real test however will be with a male lead but hey I am one step closer to over coming that fear.I am going to get my next fix...
This took me forever to get through.The beginning was really good, but then it just fell flat for me.Not planning on picking up anymore of her books. I was not emotionally involved with any of the characters and the plots' "twists" were atrocious. Bottom line: Should have read something else.
Pretty interesting story. I think my wife would have liked it more than I did.
